The scheduler first chooses a category by its weight, then chooses a slot inside that category using the slot's existing weight. Slots without a category use the Uncategorized bucket with weight 1 unless you define an uncategorized category below.
This channel keeps its own programming brief, operating mode, cooldown policy, and semantic preferences. The global master switch must also be enabled before scheduler ordering can apply.
Saved brief: The Veil is a supernatural and fantasy-focused channel targeting an audience interested in magical realism, witch lore, and ensemble casts navigating extraordinary circumstances. The tone should be atmospheric, blending elements of nostalgic teen fantasy with more mature, gothic horror undertones. Pacing should vary, allowing for both the rapid action inherent shows and the character-driven moments found in others. Marathons should be rare, but should happen occasionally. The user should get a good chance to sit with a series, while ensuring variety is still occurring as to maintain user engagement.
Content priorities must heavily favor established witch/magic narratives. Scheduling must respect the weighted slotting approach. The morning should feel noticeably lighter, while midday and the evening should feature more heavy and prime-time shows.
This executive's mode is independent of every other channel. Advisory mode never changes scheduler ordering.
Only this channel can bypass slot item/time cooldowns and the cooldown-derived immediate same-show guard. All other scheduler safeguards remain enforced.
Scheduler rule bypasses (active modes only)
Ignore slot max_picks_per_20_items and max_picks_per_playlist limits.
Ignore day-of-week and daypart-gated slot eligibility checks.
Ignore time-of-day blocking and date blackout rules.
Optional behavior controls
Higher values allow transition preferences to reorder more of the normal shuffle ranking.
